Title: Phase One P25 Replacement Batteries?
Post by: John_Black on December 07, 2007, 01:32:56 pm
How much is one (USD)?  Did some websearch's and found some 3rd party options for around $30'ish.  Seems silly to risk the back on a $30 battery and I'd rather have one blessed by Phase One.

John,

We recommend getting the 2500 mAh batteries from Phase One.  They run $70.00 each, but are worth it.  You can get a 1880 -2100 mAh battery at a cheapr cost, but you won't get the longer usage you would out of the 2500 mAh.  If you have two of the 2500 mAh batteries that last 3-4 hrs. each, you should be able to get through a normal shoot.

Thank you,

Chris Lawery

Can't say exactly about  P25, but I bought one for my P20 on amazon for less than $20 that works great. Actually its my best battery since it lasts the longest.  I think Phase used the same configuration as a lot of Sony digicams so lots of replacement batteries available. For more money you can buy higher mA rated batteries too.

Are they the same for the P30 and does anybody know where I can get the Dual battery charger?
I buddy of mine showed me once but now I cannot remember where he got it. I think the Phase only charge one battery at a time?
Thanks for any information and does anybody know where to get the After market one for cheaper? Or what model number exactly I need to look for?
Thanks

Snook,
The batteries that Phase One ships with the P30's are the 2500mAh. Yes the dual Hahnel charger (new style) is available as well for $220, and we usually keep these in stock as well.

The back comes with a dual charger!

John

I have a total of 4 batteries and have yet to need more than 1 or two when I'm out shooting.  Keep in mind that all I do is landscape and nature and can be out for days at a time.  Having the extre batteries is just nice to have.  

I decided that it wasn't worth the danger and brought my extra batteries from my dealer.


Edited:  Doesn't all backs use the same battery??

I have tried the Canon video battery and it performs nowhere near as good as the Phase battery.

The classic kits come with a single battery and charger, and the value add kits come with the dual charger and two batteries.

My P30+ back came with the dual charger and 1 battery.  I only got the 1 year warranty with my back.  I have 4 batteries, all from phase one, I have dipped into the 3rd battery on a very long day of shooting on location.  3 is plenty!  Get the phase batteries you aren't saving that much in the overall big picture.

Thanks Guys..
I bought my P30 used and have not received it yet.. will get it next week. But I cannot remember what the guy who sold it to me had. He did say it came with 3 batteries. When you shoot tethered does it take power out of the Firewire , Right?

The P25 I bought was a demo, so I'm not sure how "used" the batteries are or aren't, or if they were properly cycled.  I expected the Phase batteries to be between $50 to $100, but I wanted to make sure they were something ridiculous like $229!
